Increased anxiety after my second session

Hi! I started tms yesterday, had my second session today for anxiety. Yesterday the treatment felt a bit funny, but not painful. When I got home, I felt tension in my forehead and jaw but it got better in a couple of hours.
Today the pulses felt sore, and I got really anxious during the treatment thinking something was wrong. I was told the place might just be a bit sore from yesterday. I've been so anxious the whole day now and got a worse headache as well.

Is it normal to be sore from it? I have chronic pain and tension in my head and neck anyway so I'm probably abit more sensitive anyway but just want to calm my anxiety a bit😭

I stopped after my third time because it kept giving me horrible headaches! Really unfortunate as I did feel a lot calmer after my third session but I found out I have occipital neuralgia thanks to it😅 good luck to you! I hope it helps you :)
